Emily’s list: Financial literacy month edition

April is Financial Literacy Month. It’s time to step up and make sure you know your personal finance basics. If you have kids, whether first graders or teenagers, it’s also a great time to help educate them about healthy money habits.

This month was originally created by The Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, and has since officially designated in a resolution by the United States Senate and by presidential proclamation.

The month is celebrated by a host of government agencies and private companies with a stake in helping us get smart, money-wise.

You can further your personal finance know-how by reading my weekly roundup of favorite blog posts!

You go, Emily! We need to educate our children on financial literacy. If you learn when you’re young, you have a great foundation to build upon and these lessons will stick with you through your entire life. Take your kid to work; show them where money REALLY comes from!

I want to make my GMAC monthly mortgage & car payments with my Chase Mileage Plus VISA card. I know there’s a way to do this. I read about a third party, no or minimal fee credit card that can be used to make these payments and then applies the charges to the Chase reward card which I then pay. If you’re not familiar with this credit card co. could you look in to it for me. Thanks, Greg
